The Core Studio makes key improvements on the traditional classroom. It is an acoustically separated space for an educator to facilitate learning activities for one class of learners. By making flexible furniture and robust technology available throughout the day, the studio supports efficient and fluid transitions between teaching modalities, learning activities and instructional practices. The learning studio empowers students to quickly break into groups, move tables together or aside for project work space, and present to one another—in addition to the lecture format. Opportunities for two studios to combine will be provided, allowing for large group instruction, team-teaching, and more project space.
